Any time you exceed the maximum size of an Int16 (32K) then
your code has to be very, very careful never to use Int16 instead
of UInt16.
While the Palm OS database format does allow you a little under
64K byte 'records' and a little under 64K 'records', it is good
programming technique to try to design your application for
smaller numbers within the range of Int16. This still gives you
enormous capabilities.
